TGCDT: February 2023 Best Day Stampin’ Up! Card Ideas
Hello & welcome to Mitosu Crafts UK. Thanks for stopping by for The Gentlemen Crafters Design Team May inspiration hop. Today we are sharing a project using the Best Day Stamp Set and creating 2 lovely birthday cards using DSP & a watercolour wash technique.
The Gentlemen Crafters Design Team (#TGCDT) are a group of male crafters. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world that love to share our creative side with you every 2nd Friday of each month. Make sure you check out the rest of the Design Team’s creative projects from the links at the end of this post.
Best Day Birthday Cards
I just love the Best Day set and think it’s so much fun to work with. It’s easy to colour & easy to make simple cards.
These 2 cards were made during one of our LIVE YouTube demonstrations and I have played with a little watercolour wash technique for the first card with the cat & focused on using the Birthday Cake & Dandy Designs Designer Series Papers which is FREE during the month of February 2023 as part of our Sale-a-bration promotion.
I took inspiration from a fellow demonstrator Fiona Westcott of Dorrie’s Designs for the card with the cat as I loved it so much, I love a good CASE don’t you? (Copy And Share/Selectively Edit) and Pinterest helped me with the inspiration for the second card with the Birthday Cake.
As I mentioned above, I’ve used the FREE Dandy Designs Papers and I used the colour pallet from this to help me decide what colour to add to the card , from the card base to layers. So if you get a little confused with colour combinations like me, then don’t forget to look at the colours on the papers for inspiration.
How did I make them?
You can see how these have been made by watching our video over on YouTube, just by clicking the picture below
